Partly cloudy, isolated afternoon thunderstorms, humid, high 82

Partly cloudy skies return for Monday and Tuesday, but an upper-level trough will remain stuck over the region. This means a majority of the day is dry, but a small chance of showers and thunderstorms will develop in the afternoon. Neither day will be a washout by any means, in fact, you may need the sunglasses at times as well. Humidity levels will increase today, however, and high temperatures get back into the lower-80s.

A cold front sweeps through on Wednesday, which will be our last day (and best chance) of scattered thunderstorms in Western Massachusetts. A long-overdue, quieter weather pattern will finally settle into the region for the second half of the week.Thursday, Friday and Saturday all look mostly sunny with high temperatures nicely in the lower-80s and overnight lows in the 50s ... couldn't ask for a more comfortable stretch of weather in early August.
